Comment on Et plangent se super eum omnes tribus terrae in Revelation 1:7.
Hoc loco notandum quia cum adjectione ait tribus terrae: ac si diceret terrena desiderantes, et avaritiae studentes, quibus dicitur: Vae vobis divitibus (Luc. VI, 24); et item, Vae vobis qui ridetis (Ibid., vers. 25).
In this place it is to be noted that he says « the tribes of the earth » with an addition of meaning, as if he were saying « those who long for earthly things and devote themselves to greed », to whom it is said, Woe to you that are rich(2), as well as, Woe to you that laugh(3).
This was my best guess as to what adiectio could mean here, as no definition I found in dictionaries quite fitted the context. Opinions?
